The 2210 has outstanding battery life, even with switched-on Bluetooth. For example, if you chat via MSN Messenger via a BT GPRS phone, on a ThinkOutside StowAway BT keyboard, the battery charge only decreases 10% an hour, resulting in a 9-hour-long session time with one charge!

I wish current VGA PPC's were as good as the 2210 power consumption-wise, and I'm also speaking of the BT units... for example, switching on the BT unit on both the Asus A370(w) and the Dell Axim x50v decreases their battery life considerably. Or, taking an example of the Pocket Loox 720, its 1640 mAh battery is able to run NoteM for approximately the same time as the 2210 with its 900 mAh battery with switched-off screen, meaning that without pixel doubling, the Pocket Loox still consumes about 70% more power than the 2210. And the other VGA devices (except for the hx4700) are even worse.
